Im having a bit of a problem running the two together. Seems like the kalk keeps sticking to the optic eye and causing it to fail. I would have to take the eye out and scrub it clean, and it keeps reoccurring in the course of one to two days. I had them both on the return section of the sump on opposite ends of the same side (both on the short side but as far as possible from each other). Ive got a 40g Breeder custom sump, the ATO is set to the middle flow position and the TLF KW stirrer has the recommended amount of kalk.
I resolved this issue by placing the stirrer outlet right above the bubble trap where the refugium drains into the return. So far its been running for 3 days with no issues. I could leave the Stirrer in its current position but it is unsightly. Does anyone else have this problem or do I have an overly sensitive eye? I purchased this system from someone else here 9 months before my system was ready so its not brand new.
